Steve, Two weeks ago today Barb and I found the Tony Grove Boatshop on Gabriola Island, BC. We were vacationing in Nanaimo, just across the Straits of George from Gabriola.

We introduced ourselves and soon met Tobi Elliot, the cinematographer of the documentary. We were treated like royalty for 2 hours. Thanks again for posting the trailer for Dorothy. I hope you had a chance to see Dorothy during the recent Boat Festival in Washington State. If not you have a great chance to show the rest of us a great story. Tom Bolko
